byteme
byteme was launched in June 2009. Alongside with fellow comrades, Harris Kladis, Notis Halkidis and Nikos Kontis, we decided to create a videogames website that would make a difference in the market. It was also our first indie project: no publishing companies, no petty bosses, no stupid constraints. byteme aimed towards a core audience that loved videogames and treated them as a way of life. For byteme videogames were equal to the contemporary pop culture, not just a hobby or simply ‘toys for boys’. Its contents spanned from reviews, hands-on and news reports, to charts, interviews and business analyses. My role in byteme was a rather complex one. From the very first day I was involved until April 2012, I was the main responsible for communication and publicity issues
(although my official title was “PR guru wannabe”, I guess a stern “PR & Communications Manager” would do the job as well), i.e. keeping in touch with companies in Greece and abroad, attending events, shows and presentations worldwide and doing my best in order to ensure that every single day our community would welcome at least one enthusiastic gamer. I was also writing a lot. A lot. Reviews, hands-on, columns, interviews, news, almost everything. And I fuckin’ loved it…
